Bird-friendly Maple Woods Walk – Uihlein Maple Research Forest
August 23 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Join the New York Forest Owners Association (NYFOA), Audubon New York, and Cornell’s Uihlein Maple Research Forest for a Woods Walk Workshop focused on the Audubon Bird-Friendly Maple Program. Through the Bird-friendly Maple program Audubon partners with maple producers to enhance sugarbush habitat for forest birds—supporting bird conservation while maintaining productive maple operations. Recognized Bird-Friendly Maple producers commit to managing their forests in ways that improve habitat conditions for priority bird species, without compromising syrup production. During this workshop, we will tour Cornell’s Uihlein Maple Research Forest—an officially recognized Bird-Friendly Maple site—and explore how forest management practices can benefit both birds and maple producers. While the event is geared toward maple producers, forest landowners and managers who do not produce syrup will also gain valuable insights into habitat-friendly forest stewardship.
